Can an app be run automatically and hidden?

Post by WarrenW » Wed Oct 03, 2012 3:50 pm

Hi,

After an app is installed can it be run automatically when the phone is turned on and be hidden from the user? It's not for spyware or anything like that. Just seeing what can be done.

Thanks!

Warren

iOS is very limited with what an app can do in the background, and any background apps may be subject to purging at any time based on the memory needs of the current app.

What do you want to do?

Hi Warren,

Currently, LiveCode is unable to run in the background on phones.

Kind regards,
